This was an indictment against Thomas Gill and Bernard Henry, for a conspiracy. , The first and second counts of the indictment charged the defendants, well knowing that certain instruments called hydrometers and sacCharometers, - made by Thomas Gill, a mathematical instrument-maker, were very imperfect and of little or no value, conspire against divers of his Majesty's subjects, to induce them to purchase these instruments of the said Thomas Gill, such instruments being imperfect and of little or do value. The indictment then went on to state, that the defendant Henry gave orders to those persons for these instruments, thereby inducing those persons to pay Gill for them, never meaning . to fetch ,theta away. The third and fourth counts charg‘ed, that the two defendant, did conspire and combine together, by false pre tences and subtle means and deVices, to defraud and cheat Peter 'Dolland, William' Harris, and other persons therein named, of large sums of money. 'Mr. SCARLETT, Mr. ARAB ix, and Mr. KELLEt, conducted the prosecution. The case proved against the defendants was this :—the de fendant, Gill, is a celebrated hydrometer maker, and Henry was represented to have been a ('attain in the merchants' service. It appeared that Gill having a stock of hydrometers, of imperfect manufacture, to sell, had employed Henry to go round to different mathematical instrument makers about Own, and give orders fur articles, Of that descriptiiin to be made by Gill; •AccOrulingly Henry applied to 'Mr.illoltand, of ht. Paul's Church-yard, Mr. Harris, of High Holborn, and several other opticians, and representing himself to be Captain of an American ship, gate. orders for a estnsitlerable number 'of hydrometers for the Amelican market ' to be made expressly by Mr. Gill, 'and to be ready for delivery by a given day. The prosecutors imme diately employed Mr. Gill to,complete the orders; the hy drometers weee delivered by the latter, he received ready money foe them, but Mr. Henry never came to the prose cutor s to fetch the instruments away, and consequently they were left on the hands of ttte latter. upon inquiry, it was discovered that this was a trick played by Mr. Henry, in con cert with the other defendant, and means were taken to luring them together. They were watched very closely, and Mr. Henry was traced from the house of Mr. Gill, and upon the former being apprehended, he confessed the whole of the scheme, but denied that he was liable to be prosecuted for a conspiracy, saying that it was only a simple contract debt.— Part of the money which had been paid to Glut for the in struments was found in Henry's possession. Ott inquiring for him at the addresses which he gave, no such person was to be found. It appeared, that although the instruments made by Gill'were to a certain degree imperfect, yet they were of suture value, and might be rendered saleable with the assistance eta workman. . . . Mr, GURNEY, - with whom was M r . Adolphus, tor the de fendants, addressed the Jury, and contended, that the evi dence adduced for the prosecution did nit sustain the'charge alleged in the indictment. It signified nothing that they were guilty of an offence punishable by law—the• question here was, whether they were guilty of the offence as charged by the indictinetit ? The charge against them was, for con spiring to cheat the prosecutors, by inducing them to pur chase hydrometers which were of little or no value. Now.it appeared that the. instruments sold were of considerable value, and might be rendered saleable with Very little trouble. Indeed, one of the prosecutors had sold Some of them, and stated, that he considered Mr. Gill a very skilful manaifac• toner of such articles. Under theSe eircumstances,• it was impossible for the Jury to say that the defendants were guilty of the charge as alleged, , ,tipon the present form of pleading. Mr. Justice Action' charged the Jury, that Whatever doubt there might be as to the offence alleged in the first and second counts being - made out by the evidence, they were to deter mine whether the third and fourth counts had not been frilly sustained by all the evidence in the case, and whether the defendants had not defrauded the prosecutors by the means stated by the witnesses. The Jury, with little hesitation, found both defendants Guilty, and they were immediately committed. CONSISTORY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS. ADULTERY. TRELAWNY tl. TRELAWNY. This was a Suit of Separatitin, instituted byJohnTrelawny, the'husband, against Caroline, his wife, on the ground of adultery. -‘ • - - • Sir WM. SCOTT . t his day gave judgment in the above. He ob herved upo'n the facts. parties were married in I81:1; afterwards they cohabited and lisaM amicably together till 1816, wlkni Capt. Trelawny, husband, be longingto the Royal Navy, took lodgings with his wife at the house-of a M rs. Prout, in Bristol. Here, unfortunately fur their happiness, Captain `Thomas Coleman, an Officer in the Army, came to lodge at the same house.' At-this time there were two children -burn, and' a third, now living• (of which the Lady was five months gone) ; issue of. themarriage. Here an acquaintance and close fami liarity took phice between -Mrs. Trelawny and Captain Cole maii,•which was of a very'snspicious twine. 'This the' wit nesses described. She was much in the habit of going into the apartments of Captain Coleman, and particularly his ben robru; tke key-hole of which, was stopped up with 'paper. He gave•htlr- books lir 'read, and a written correspondence 'was de tected between them,tlisclosing an adulterous intercourse. Other circuinstances.of more direct evidence led to the am yl/400n or t Heir being detected in the very act itself. The 'lid lowingletter!wwweitten by the wife to her paramour, -which she desired her servant 'to put into her boSom for conceal ment, and not look at the contents Obi t s was on the ap proach of her - husband). The servant, however, determined to read•it •My beloved Coleman—My husband has found out ail. He believes my conduct to hate been-both culpable 00 cri tainal. His vengeance has been already wreaked upon iuc. I will not, however ) give . up the'secret'out in' death.' It appeared,' after the discovery, the husband and she re moved, and that he afterwards lived with his wife at Bath.— Much stress waS laid on this circumstance, as tieing an act of acquiesenee or totidnuation uu hispirrC. , •: Sir WILLIAM Scoitjudged otherwise, and decided that the tack it t he adultery were sutiiciently tuade out to entitle the husband to his remedy, and accordingly pronounced for the divorce.

To the mere Philanthropist it must be matter of exultation to see thousands annually discharged from imprisonment; but the Philosopher, the contemplative mind, is led to consider whether the Act which discharg•s these persons is nut the sole cause of a very large proportion of them being in prised at al! ? Whett.er it is not an encouragement to improper and dangerous 'speculations u vice, pi ofligacy, and prodigality? Whether the shortness of punishment (if indeed the rules of the prisons can be so considered),"is not a strong in - ducement to unprincipled persons to endeavour to obtain crtdli by false appearances of splendour and independence ?
